WWE Intercontinental Champion The Miz and Maryse and The Miz recently spoke with Channel Guide Magazine about various topics. Maryse and Miz will join the cast of Total Divas for the sixth season of the series, which will air on the E! Network later this year. Maryse and Miz both agreed that joining the show is completely different from what they’re used to.
“It’s definitely different for me,” Maryse said. “They come into your house. They come into your life. Cameras come into places you don’t normally film at. Usually, you have the filming for WWE. So it will be interesting. People will see what it’s like in our lives outside WWE.”
“It’s definitely different from the reality I remember,” Miz said, “But it’s a lot of fun. She doesn’t need any advice from me, though. She does great on her own. She is a natural.”
As seen over the last few months on WWE TV, several NXT stars have been called up to the main roster. Miz explained the differences between the main roster and NXT.
“I think people who come up think it will be exactly the same as it is in NXT and the Performance Center, and it’s not,” Miz said. ”It’s completely different. So you try to warm them up and get them prepared and ready for what WWE has to offer. I don’t think anything can prepare you fully, so you prepare them as much as possible. You talk to them on the road and have them experience the way the crowds work. The crowds are completely different on the main roster than they are at NXT. NXT is a smaller venue. Here you are in the biggest venues and on the biggest shows with Raw and SmackDown Live. So to help them out here is kind of what I’ve been doing.”
Maryse was released from WWE in 2011 but returned earlier this year to be Miz’s manager. When asked if Maryse will wrestle again in WWE, Miz responded for her and said time will tell.
“Time will tell. We will see what happens,” Miz said. She is doing so much right now. She just had a movie come out on SyFy called Isle of the Dead trending worldwide. It was really well-received. Then we have the video game, with ‘WWE 2K17’ coming out in October. There is so much happening right now. We’ll see what happens.”
Miz and Maryse also talked about WWE 2K17 and more. You can read the entire interview here.
